Fair enough ur POV..respect it

First of all yes SRK wasnt conventionally goodlooking...nt the tall dark handsome macho kinds...but I disagree to the fact he lacked the chocolate boy looks...his big brown eyes full off innocence and soft dark tresses and dimples charmed many hearts...No one thought he is smouldering sexy with great abs but he always appeared very endearing and adorable on/offscreen...He was no Salman but definitely not Ajay devgn in looks dept...I feel the same for Ranbir...he also has that boy next door charm like SRK...not supergood looking like Sidharth or Aditya but still cute enough...Ranveer sorry but he hardly looks presentable most of the times...such wacky dressing sense makes him appear so raw and unpolished...it may have takers here but to common public who dont have much knowledge abt fashion,the looks Ranveer sports = atrocious...Not many connect to his unkept hair or horrendous shades of suits

SRK used to charm all his female costars...none of them had any issues with him...they rate him as best costar in all shows...Cant say the same for Ranveer...DP doesnt count as she is his gf lol..But Anushka,Sonakshi,PC etc all seemed irked by his antics at one point or other...he might treat women well but his demenaour is nt as appealing to costars as ppl here say...hence the issues...even in KWK all yesteryear heroines ranking Ranbir as the best while SRK is still preferred to likes of Sallu/Aamir.

Yeah Ranveer is witty and as energetic as SRK...that I will agree...both are good hosts...But Ranveer's humour is very different from SRK...its not everyone's cup of tea...SRK's humour and sarcasm is always classy...its more like Saif Ali Khan's ...Ranveer goes to the Govinda zone more often...very loud and hyper...its not a bad thing but its different from SRK's clever lines and self deprecating humor...like PC said ,she likes funny guys with intelligent sense of humour...she said that to take a dig at Ranveer during some gundey promotion lol...SRK belongs to latter group...Also SRK started going OTT with digs at other celebs(Saawariya spoof) only after he was confident enough and achieved superstardom...Ranveer has just started out and the industry or general public wont tolerate such kinds of taunts or sarcasm from him...he has to establish himself as a star before taking such kinda liberty as an entertainer or host...One thing I wud agree Ranveer's diction and vocabulary is commendable...much better than any actors belonging to younger lot 👍🏼...Though Ranbir is not far behind in that dept too.

Ranveer's very energetic no doubt...he has that fire in him to succeed yes...but we are discrediting other actors belonging to current crop here...Not just Ranveer,Ranbir is also equally passionate about his work...his dedication is 100%...same goes for Sushant,Sid,Varun,Ayushman etc...these guys are all out there ready to work there ass out to realise their BW dreams...all of them are equally invested just like Ranveer...willing to go to any ends...very calculative abt career moves...none of them have taken BW career for granted...very hardworking and posses lot of perseverance...all of them have the fire a young SRK had...I dont see anyone lazy as Sallu nowadays lol..they take special interest in every minute details...from the look of the character to script to direction to choreography !

But yes u might have ur own reasons like the ones stated in ur post to think like that...I m nt denying that.. ...future is unpredictable,i just speak on basis of what I observed...I maybe wrong..me too dont get the Aamir-Ranbir comparison tbh...Ranbir's energy, charisma and moves in Badtameez dil..well I havent something like that from Aamir in his hey days...some of his songs used to bore the heck out of me lol...Ranbir has that goofy charm which Aamir lacked...Badtameez dil rocked the nation just like Ruk ja did in 1995...So like I said to each his own..I dont find comparisons b/w Aamir-Ranbir or SRK-Ranveer valid...some others do..its fine...lets see what happens in future.



I did say upthread I like Ranbir too 😛. Work with me here, I am not just buttering you up...😆

I am an incredible movie snob and I love world cinema. The thing I do not like about our industry is nepotism, so you can probably guess I have different standards for outsiders and starkids.

What I Iove about Ranbir and that is missing from so many starkids who make a debut based on last name or have daddy or family connections launch them, Ranbir went to Lee Strasberg to study cinema. That right there shows me how serious he was about his career. If you look at the alumini list of Lee Strasburg and see the names Pacino, De Niro, Hoffman, Wilder, Claire Danes..basically the whos who of Hollywood you know what he will be capable of. And he proved it once and all to me in Barfi. I compared Ranbir to the Aamir, but I think I will compare him to his grandfather Raj Kapoor. Raj Kapoor loved the art of cinema. When you listen to or read his old interviews it is similar to listening to the greats of HW cinema in 'Inside the Actors Studio'. Many Kapoors have acted in movies, but I think next to Raj Kapoor only Ranbir has a passion for cinema and looks upon it as an art form and not just a career.

That is what I also see in Ranveer. The passion for cinema. Ranveer is educated in America, but unlike Saif and Emraan Hashmi who have no shame in making money off Bollywood, but look down upon their noses at it. Ranveer who is educated in America celebrates the masala cinema of Bollywood in Govinda and Anil Kapoor. Masala cinema is one of the most important of our cinema and the respect Ranveer shows people like Govinda is very nice to see. Yes, he is loud but you see genuine respect when he talks about Govinda.

When I contrast these two with say an Abhishek or Imran who come across as lazy. I don't see the same passion for cinema in the rest of the new lot. while Ranbir and Ranveer talk about directing, composing and so on. It is why when I see Ranbir touching De Niro's feet I see extreme reverence and not something Indians need to be ashamed of. When I see Ranveer sitting with SLB when he composes music, I see him wanting to learn different facets of cinema, not just acting. Ranbir and Ranveer are people who will change Indian cinema in their own ways to me, will have a long career and definitely are the future to me among the current lot. So, yes I see more similarities than differences between the two of them.

Again just my POV..
